| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage I wouldn't deal with spacers even after 45 years in the hobby, or rather ESPECIALLY after 45 years, because it is a "problem" so easily avoided. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" ljgerens, Thanks for your response. | |
| What Are The Differences Between The Vandenhul Cartridge Families Stringreen, Where did you hear (or read) such a thing? VdH cartridges might be more susceptible to damage by ham-handed audiophiles than some others, because of their very open structure which exposes the cantilever out in space, but I know of no ... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" ljgerens, You cannot possibly have access to those sophisticated techniques, knowledge of how to analyze the results therefrom, and the costly instruments needed to implement them just for the sole purpose of examining LP surfaces. Are you at libe... | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage You mentioned Benz and Soundsmith. Many Benz LOMC cartridges have high-ish internal resistance, like the Hana SL (33 ohms). So those are just as difficult to match with your phono stage as is the SL. Soundsmith make some "Low Output Moving Iron... | |
| Riddle me this.... Exactly. Jobim said it best in the English lyrics to Desafinado. | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage To be fair, don't you think that a load resistance switch is sometimes a response to the marketplace which tends to place a high value on fiddling with load resistance, because most audiophiles, who are also potential buyers, do not understand the... | |
| Riddle me this.... Have vocalists and instrumentalists also learned to record in phase with each other.? My point is if one prefers one phase vs it’s opposite it’s possibly because one is focusing on one aspect of the performance, eg, the vocalist in an ensemble. T... | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage Define "pinched". | |
| Riddle me this.... Explain to me why the phase switch ought to be in the digital domain, as opposed to the analog domain in a fully balanced analog circuit, where ground floats. That's assuming of course that one only wants to be able to change phase by 180 degrees.... | |
| Bought A Vintage Kiseki This Weekend If there’s a new baby cartridge, doesn’t that mean someone got f**ked? | |
| Matching the cartridge to the phono stage My guess is that the high gain inputs feed a SUT with a choice of two levels of voltage gain. That would account for the two different load resistance parameters at the two different levels of gain. You can’t fix that unless you change the 47K ohm... | |
| Riddle me this.... antigrunge, I hope you and anyone else will get the point that I don’t claim phase makes no difference. Please pay attention to the double negative in that last sentence. I do claim that (1) I, and everyone else who has been subjected to double bl... | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? I too hope you enjoy the Shure, despite my pessimistic comment. Pay no attention to Jason, who even got the inductance of the Shure wrong. He stated it's 400 microhenries when in fact it's 1000X higher than that, at 400 millihenries (actually, S... | |
| Riddle me this.... The question is what is "absolute phase" in reproduced music where the music itself has been recorded using several different microphones, set up usually without regard to their relative phases, and is then played back through speakers with crosso... |
